Frequently Buddhism says "reborn" and not "reincarnation". What does this mean?Means that there is not life after death and the human ( or animal ) that will born after me will NOT me but another sentient ?This means that after death in Buddhism there is not any life for ME ( death = end of ME ) ?

Hello dianabluda10,These are profound questions and I am sure people will refer you to other postings and useful resources. Just a tiny preliminary comment for you though; Non-self is a key factor here. You're asking "is there still ME when I die?" and, in a way, what a Buddhist would say is "there is no ME while you live either". Conceptions of rebirth vary alot across traditions, but as I understand it, a common ground is the idea that there is no "you", there is a flow of mindstates that follow one after the other, that are caused one after the other, always evolving and changing, and each next mindstate will continue to cause a new mindstate regardless of death. We, our consciousness, will continue to receive experiences throughout.In Buddhism you let go of the idea of a fixed "me", and rather accept that you evolve over time, each next moment you've turned into something new, caused by the previous moment, both in the physical world and mentally.

If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding: Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)

Exalted in mind, just open and clearly aware, the recluse trained in the ways of the sages:One who is such, calmed and ever mindful, He has no sorrows! -- Udana IV, 7

'you' are a particular set of mental dispositions and habits in a human mind. just as your name will end, the thing that that name refers to, namely those mental dispositions in your human mind, will also end.

however due to causes and conditions the final moment of mind in this lifetime will act as a cause for the first moment of mind in the next lifetime.

at that time a new mind, perhaps a human mind, with human dispositions will be produced in dependence on the causes and conditions of previous lifetimes. buddhism and other meditative traditions that have mastered the mind explain that if you undertake actions in which you fail to realize the rights of others because you are too busy overestimating and inflating your rights, this will produce incredibly unhappy and painful future mental dispositions.

A Japanese man has been arrested on suspicion of writing a computer virus that destroys and replaces files on a victim PC with manga images of squid, octopuses and sea urchins. Masato Nakatsuji, 27, of Izumisano, Osaka Prefecture, was quoted as telling police: "I wanted to see how much my computer programming skills had improved since the last time I was arrested."

Buddhists generally dislike the term reincarnation because it literally means that there is a soul that incarnates after death by taking on a new body, and Buddhism describes it in a very different way.

Buddhism teaches that a person is made up of 5 types of things. They are form (the physical body), feeling (the sensation of something as pleasant, unpleasant, or neither), perception, volition, and consciousness. All of these things are dependent on conditions and are impermanent. Also, none of them can be regarded as being one's self, or belonging to one's self in any ultimate sense.

Essentially, a person is a continuous process of impersonal physical and mental phenomena that come into being, cease, and be replaced by another physical or mental phenomenon. When a person dies, this process continues.

The non-doing of any evil, The performance of what's skillful,The cleansing of one's own mind: This is the Buddhas' teaching.

To answer the question, There's no Me to reborn, and those who have studied this through will know that there are only citta and Chetasika reborn. The citta that does the reborn task is Juti-citta as well as chetasika. The act of these 2 is to move from one existed person to another existed person.

Reincarnate or reborn is just the wording, but the fact is this..

Life after death is a new life that was being influenced from karma factor. "We" today is the life after death of the previous life...."We' will be reborn and will ask this type of question again and again the next life if we don't have enough Jhana (wisdom) to know exactly the real dhamma condition to become Sodabham Ariya.
